Safe pedestrian
The document discusses pedestrian safety and outlines safe driving practices around pedestrians. It notes that pedestrian deaths are higher than other modes of transportation. It recommends drivers slow down, especially around schools and areas with many pedestrians, increase defensive scanning to spot pedestrians, and exercise extra caution for high-risk groups like children, seniors, and distracted pedestrians. The key message is for drivers to be alert of pedestrians and slow down to avoid collisions.

This document evaluates how online bicycle routing portals address safety when providing route recommendations. It reviews 30 pre-trip route planning websites and finds that while most allow users to select routing criteria like distance and time, very few explicitly include safety as a criteria. When safety is included, it is rarely defined or explained. The document concludes that since safety is an important factor in bicyclists' route choices but is largely ignored by current routing tools, more needs to be done to better reflect the complexity of safety considerations and individual preferences in route recommendations.
The Future is autonomous
The document discusses autonomous vehicles and their future. It begins with a brief history of autonomous cars from experiments in the 1920s to modern prototypes. Autonomous vehicles use sensors like radar and cameras to navigate without human input. They are being developed by many major companies and have the potential to revolutionize transportation by making roads safer, reducing traffic, and providing independent mobility. However, some concerns about autonomous vehicles include adapting to their use, privacy, and legal liability of system failures. As the technology improves to address these issues, autonomous cars are predicted to gain widespread acceptance.
Pedestrian safety, India
This document discusses pedestrian safety and mitigation strategies. It notes that urban sprawl has often left pedestrians without safe ways to cross wide roads lacking sidewalks and crosswalks. Pedestrians account for 11% of motor vehicle accidents, with 180000 killed between 1975-2005, and 60% occurring where there are no crosswalks. Effective engineering solutions like dedicated bicycle lanes, pedestrian walkways, public transit, and safe infrastructure can help reduce accidents by lowering traffic and providing safer options for road users. Proper road design, enforcement of traffic rules, and defensive awareness from drivers can also help improve pedestrian safety.
Improving Walkability, And Pedestrian Safety And Convenience
This is a presentation I prepared during my internship at Newark Housing Authority (NHA) for the research team of their project for making Newark neighborhoods more pedestrian-friendly.
Effective transport for efficient cities
This document discusses the importance of prioritizing non-motorized transport such as walking and cycling for efficient cities. It notes that pedestrians need space, safety, priority, accessibility, comfort, and to enjoy their experience. Cyclists similarly need connected routes, direct paths, safety on routes and at intersections, comfort, and attractive infrastructure. It concludes that walking and cycling will only increase when they are prioritized over motor vehicles.
Res schoolrobots
The document discusses the progress of autonomous vehicles and robotics technologies over time, from early DARPA challenges of off-road driverless vehicles to today's testing of autonomous cars on public roads. It notes successes like Google's self-driving car project and increasing numbers of states allowing testing. The document also touches on emerging applications of robotics in logistics, like mobile shelving in warehouses.
Best Practices for Walkability
Walkability best practices are initiatives and activities that most effectively contribute to increasing the number and frequency of work, recreation, shopping, school, fitness, and other walking trips, increasing the walk share of all people trips made in a community, and improving the safety, comfort, convenience, and well-being experience of walking throughout a community.This workshop presentation presents a number of best practices, and suggests how citizens can organize their resources to promote achieving these practices in their communities.

Attitudes toward Autonomous on Demand Mobility System: The Case of Self-Drivi...International Federation for Information Technologies in Travel and Tourism (IFITT)
This document summarizes research on consumer attitudes toward autonomous, on-demand mobility systems like self-driving taxis. The researchers examined how negative attitudes toward technology and trust in self-driving taxis influence the likelihood of using these services. They found that viewing technology as dehumanizing decreased likelihood of use, while viewing the taxis as reliable, functional and helpful increased likelihood of use. Frequent use of existing taxi and ride-hailing services also predicted greater willingness to use autonomous taxis. The researchers conclude that building trust in autonomous vehicles and addressing concerns about technology reducing human roles are important to gaining acceptance of these new mobility services.Creating a Safer System Through State Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Campaigns...

Where do we go from here - technology and visually impaired people’s mobility
Where do we go from here - technology and visually impaired people’s mobilityInstitute for Transport Studies (ITS)
The document discusses technology and its potential to improve mobility for visually impaired people. It notes that approximately 285 million people worldwide are visually impaired, and many experience isolation or difficulties accessing services due to limited mobility. New technologies like GPS, augmented reality, beacons, and smart glasses could help with navigation, but challenges remain around design, cost, training, adoption and ensuring accessibility for all. The technology opportunities are exciting but must consider these potential issues.Roundabouts - Township Council Presentation January 19, 2009
The document provides information on roundabouts including their general features, traffic and safety considerations, examples of roundabouts, and the current status of roundabouts in Langley. Roundabouts are a traffic control alternative to signals that can accommodate high traffic volumes, improve safety by reducing conflict points, and have other benefits such as reduced emissions. Examples provided show roundabouts in West Vancouver and Europe. The status update gives details on completed and planned roundabouts at several intersections in Langley.
Traffic Flow
This document discusses traffic flow, issues that can impact it like improper signage or one-way streets, and things that can help like traffic lights, pedestrian walkways, and dedicated lanes. It instructs engineers to watch a video on traffic flow in India to observe problems and then discuss and draw solutions, such as infrastructure changes, that could help fix traffic flow issues.
Universal design
Universal design aims to make products and environments accessible to all people, regardless of age, ability, or situation. It considers the needs of people with disabilities and those from different cultural backgrounds. For example, telescope designs at travel sites are made to be usable by both standing visitors and those in wheelchairs by adjusting the viewing height. Pictures also show examples of universal design in daily life, like ramps that allow wheelchair access. The goal is to design inclusively for the wide range of users in society.

Public Transport
This document presents the results of a study on student perception of passenger safety on public buses. The study had two objectives: 1) to identify factors influencing bus driver performance related to passenger safety, and 2) to determine which bus facilities have the greatest impact on passenger safety.
The researchers administered a questionnaire to 15 students to collect data on their perceptions. For driver performance, students agreed that factors like alcohol testing, speed limits, training, and licenses were important. Regarding facilities, students strongly agreed that lighting, emergency exits, special seats, and CCTV promote safety. Based on the results, recommendations include additional driver training, counseling, incentives, and reasonable work shifts as well as improved facilities, CCTV, fire extingu
IRJET-Mobility Assist with Step Climber
The document summarizes a mobility assist device called the Mobility Assist Step Climber. It is designed to help weak or handicapped individuals move from a seated to standing position and walk with the support of a walker. It can lift up to 75kg and transfers weight to the ground, allowing independent mobility up and down stairs. The device aims to improve quality of life by stimulating neural pathways and reducing circulation problems for patients. It also reviews previous walker designs and their problems, as well as different methods of stair climbing in mobility devices like wheeled, legged and tracked robots. The methodology used in developing this device was conducting surveys at hospitals and old aged homes to understand user needs.

The document describes a proposed system called Yellow Swarm that uses LED panels and an evolutionary algorithm to optimize traffic flow in cities. Yellow Swarm would install LED panels throughout a city that suggest potential detours to drivers based on configurations calculated by an evolutionary algorithm offline. This is intended to prevent traffic jams, reduce travel times, lower emissions and fuel consumption, while minimizing driver distraction. The authors describe the Yellow Swarm architecture, case studies using OpenStreetMap data, and state the system could offer an inexpensive way to reroute traffic optimally.

SMART International Symposium for Next Generation Infrastructure: Next genera...SMART Infrastructure Facility
A presentation conducted by Professor Ram Pendyala, Transport Systems, School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, Arizona State University, United States of America. Presented on Tuesday the 1st of October 2013
Rapidly evolving vehicular technologies, including the advent of driverless and connected vehicles, are likely to have far-reaching implications on the design, development, provision, and financing of infrastructure in the future.
There is widespread interest in and debate on the possible impacts that autonomous vehicles will have on people’s activity travel patterns, location choices, vehicle ownership, and use of time. At the same time, ubiquitous mobile technologies and rapidly evolving communication systems
have provided the ability to access information any time anywhere, and to obtain instantaneous feedback on the
financial, temporal, energy, carbon, and health impacts of the full range of travel choices that may be exercised by users of the transport infrastructure. The gradual penetration of driverless and connected vehicles into households and business fleets over a period of time will necessitate the adaptation of existing infrastructure
to deal with a mixed fleet of autonomous and manually controlled vehicles on the transition to a fully automated transportation system. This presentation focuses on the
scenarios that may play out on the path to transport automation and the implications of the different scenarios on the design and provision of infrastructure. The presentation will draw a distinction among various emerging vehicular technologies, consider market penetration scenarios, identify the range of behavioral choices and outcomes that may result from the ownership of such vehicles, and assess the sustainability implications of emerging vehicles. While driverless vehicles may ease the stress of driving, enhance safety, reliability, and capacity utilization, and allow travelers to use travel time productively, many of these benefits do not necessarily come without costs. The convenience afforded by such
technologies may lead to dramatic shifts in work and home location choices that result in larger vehicle miles of travel – which will in turn have implications from energy, environmental, and infrastructure provision perspectives. This presentation includes a discussion of the multitude of perspectives that must be considered in planning for a driverless transportation system of the future.This presentation is the result of a collaboration between Professor Pendyala and Professors Brad Allenby and Mikhal Chester

This document summarizes an undergraduate thesis project that proposed an alternative transportation plan for Clemson, South Carolina to promote walking, biking, and public transportation over driving. The plan involved creating concentric zones with different transportation emphases - a bike and pedestrian core would be surrounded by a bus emphasis zone and then a car emphasis zone. Within the core, a connected bike and pedestrian network was proposed. The project included extensive research like surveys, mapping, and case studies to support the argument and guide the design. The goals were to provide more transportation options, reduce costs, stimulate the economy, and create a healthier community.
